    pap I know, but it won't be the same without him *blubs all over the place* I do love DT, I really do. lilmiss I'll take the tissue but not the wine as I can't drink.

    Oh no you poor thing, here's some chocolate instead.

    I know what you mean, but I'm prepared to give the new Dr a chance. I'm going to try and wangle it this year that I can visit the set - the company I work for supply vehicles to DR Who. Plus I'm friendly with the Depot Manager and the transportp office.

    This will possibly make you giggle Elfen -when they were filming the car scene for the Runaway Bridge, I took a call from a member of the public complaining how our vehicle was being driven.

    After our depot manager did some digging it transpired the vehicle wasn't being driven by a loon, but they were filming!

    Also they've put the wrong fuel in a vehicle too, the sonic screw driver wasn't any help then! No-one really caught onto that apart.

    Too true...

    And when someone rams into you, you just ask the rhetorical question "Does the RNIB *have* to shop in IKEA *today*..?"

    the thing is I'm 6ft 1 and a bit, so it's not as if people can miss me! I swear I take my invisibility cloack from my wardrobe instead of my normal coat by mistake!
